Monster Clash

"Damn it, Orochimaru is unforgivable!"

The sound of teeth grinding came from beneath the elephant's mask.

The Third Hokage's grave is frequently patrolled and guarded by ninjas, but they still can't stop Orochimaru and his gang from stealing chickens. Their actions are utterly unscrupulous and infuriating.

"Ah, this scene is so familiar," Shuichi sighed inwardly.

He did not stop Orochimaru from using the Impure World Reincarnation.

In fact, Shuichi's strength was more than enough to interrupt the casting process, but he had anticipated what he might encounter today, so he deliberately allowed the three Hokage's Edo Tensei Body to emerge.

Once they emerge, their souls will inevitably remain in their Edo Tensei Body.

Then you can seal them away in your own way.

With the power of Yin-Yang Release, regaining control of the soul is not a problem, and I will never be controlled by Orochimaru again.

"It's that Impure World Reincarnation technique again!"

As soon as he appeared, Senju Tobirama immediately looked at his hands.

"His power is even greater than last time, and he doesn't even restrict his own consciousness. That user named Orochimaru is too confident, isn't he? And, Sarutobi, you..."

"First Hokage, Second Hokage!" Sarutobi Hiruzen's aged face showed a hint of resentment as he strained to turn his head to look at Rasa behind him.

"Orochimaru, you've repeatedly toyed with the dead, and now you're even attacking the village!"

"Hmph, what a great opportunity this is! It allows you to enjoy the scenery of Konoha once again. I think you should thank me properly!"

Rasa's expression looked extremely incongruous, and his hoarse, low teasing voice was completely out of character with his appearance.

"Oh, it's the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu again! This is inside the Four Violet Flames Formation!"

An untimely, excited voice suddenly rang out, making Senju Tobirama extremely embarrassed. "It really does seem like a village outside!"

"Monkey? You were also Impure World Reincarnation using Edo Tensei? Did you die at the hands of me and Tobirama last time? Sorry for causing you trouble..."

"Brother!" Tobirama interrupted helplessly.

"We weren't called out here to watch a show. If there's a way, we should try to break free from this spell as soon as possible!"

Hashirama Senju realized what was happening, scratched his head, and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, sorry! What you said reminded me... uh!"

The three Hokage froze simultaneously, standing completely still, before lowering their center of gravity slightly and assuming a fighting stance.

"Heh, I've spent a long time fine-tuning the combination of my talismans and chakra." Orochimaru smiled confidently, secretly Hand Seals in a dark corner.

"You managed to maintain your self-awareness while also utilizing your strengths. While it can't compare to acting voluntarily, it's at least better than last time."

"Damn it, his body is full of my brother's chakra..." Tobirama's eyes twitched slightly, and he quickly looked ahead. "Who is this young man?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said heavily, "Shuichi? I'm so sorry, I completely lost control. You'd better go all out!"

Shuichi soft sigh. Introducing himself to "acquaintances" twice a day was truly a strange experience.

"First Hokage, Second Hokage, I am the Fifth Hokage, Takeda Shuichi. Nice to meet you."

"Ah, the Hokage has already passed to the fifth generation!" Hashirama realized that his power was barely adequate, and breaking free from control was quite difficult, so he stopped trying.

Hearing Shuichi's words, he became happy again, "It seems the village is developing very well!"

Watch out, young Hokage! It looks like we're about to make our move!

Wood Release: Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence

Boom!

In the center of the venue, Temari Three-Star Fan was swung vigorously, and visible Wind Blade whistled out.

Kankuro manipulated the puppet beside her, opening the Crow's two joints.

The siblings launched their Kunai first, using the wind to increase their speed dramatically; their teamwork was excellent.

Ding ding--

The two dark figures collided suddenly and then separated.

Shiranui Genma had barely caught his breath when he saw a series of deadly attacks coming from the opposite side.

He immediately began to exert tremendous pressure on his body, the accelerated flow of chakra causing his meridians to ache slightly.

He slammed both hands on the ground— Earth Release: Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!

With a deafening roar, the earthen wall was shattered to pieces, but it managed to narrowly block the Sunagakure's attack.

But just then, the small sand ball that had been still suddenly swelled up.

In the blink of an eye, the sand clump rolled to a height of over ten meters, and several earth-colored fleshy hands covered with Blue Curse Mark Patterns moved nimbly.

"Watch out, Gaara's transformation has begun! We need to get out of the way!" Baki whispered urgently.

With a whoosh, the three Sunagakure members immediately ran to the edge of the arena and quickly jumped onto the top of the arena wall.

Gaara might be indiscriminate in his actions now, so they can only try to stay as far away as possible, otherwise being caught in the crossfire would be no joke.

Whoosh,

A deformed creature, whose exact nature was unknown, suddenly extended its fleshy claws and lunged at Shiranui Genma from all directions.

Its massive limbs even blocked out the sunlight, completely enveloping him in shadow, and relentlessly crushed him with immense force...

Splat splat--

At the critical moment, a deafening roar of thunder suddenly rang out.

A beam of white light shot out from the sky, like a sword several meters long.

With a few swift slashes, the monster severed several fleshy arms in an instant, eliciting a deafening scream from the creature.

But the remaining thick, fleshy arm was even more ferocious. Because it was positioned further back to avoid being cut, it instead charged towards Shiranui Genma at an even faster speed.

Bang!

The Green Chakra Armor lit up, protecting him like an indestructible shield, easily deflecting the sudden attack from the fleshy arm.

A young man with short black hair leaped from the air, a green fist materializing in front of him. He swung it downwards, smashing the mass of flesh into pieces.

Susanoo!

"Are you alright, Genma..." Shisui calmly landed in front of him. "Sorry I'm a step late. Leave this to us."

Kakashi appeared in a flash, the lightning crackling in his hand barely dissipating.

"The stands are quite large, and enemies keep popping up, making it difficult for many Jonin to free up their hands."

"I understand." Shiranui Genma managed to calm his breathing. "This monster's teammates escaped beforehand and haven't gone far. I don't have much chakra left, but I should be able to keep an eye on them nearby."

"Roar!"

Just as the group finished their conversation, Gaara, seemingly enraged by the failed attack, swelled up several times its original size once more.

The increasingly clear monster head opened its gaping maw, and a massive, visible cloud of air burst forth, creating a huge hole in the tall wall with a deafening roar.

Fortunately, the direction was off from the audience seats, so no one was hurt, but it still gave Kakashi and Shisui a fright.

"We must get it out of there first!"

Shisui moved swiftly, his tiny body crashing directly into the massive Gaara.

Susanoo unleashed its full power, also swelling to tens of meters in height. Its skeletal form flashed by, followed by the enveloping of its meridians and flesh.

Soon, the armored half-warrior took shape.

He directly clashed with Shukaku, who was not yet fully transformed, and thrust his right-hand Spiral Sword from the side, immediately eliciting a deafening scream from the field.

"What kind of ability is that?"

Baki and the other two broke out in a cold sweat. "They actually suppressed Shukaku. Is this kind of massive, inhuman chakra something a ninja can do?"

How many powerful ninjas does Konoha still have?!

Rumble, rumble--

Shisui pushed with all his might, and the movement of the two giant monsters made the ground tremble.

Just as it was about to collide with the city wall, a point in the center of the wall suddenly twisted in a bizarre way.

The load-bearing structure was completely destroyed, causing the walls to collapse like tofu, and the entangled Susanoo and Shukaku were getting further and further away from the venue.

"Call."

Kakashi gently covered the dart-shaped windmill on his left eye with his hand and rested for a while.

Seeing that Shukaku was already swelling uncontrollably and that Shisui might not be able to hold out much longer, he wasn't particularly panicked.

Just wait a little longer, resolving this problem won't be too difficult...

Outside the Four Violet Flames Formation, Mei Terumi, Sho, and the others noticed the changes in the venue, but they didn't have time to pay attention to that side for the time being.

Within the formation, the Sea of Trees grew wildly, and countless tiles flew everywhere.

Numerous dead tree branches rose from the ground and wrapped around Shuichi wave after wave.

He completely ignored it, wielding the Roaring Sword and swinging it repeatedly. He seemed to be at the eye of a storm, with countless Wind Blade scattering in all directions, cutting down nearby trees like grass.

His face remained extremely calm, and he even slowly moved towards the direction of the figures.

BOOM!

The Third Hokage immediately created four Shadow Clones, each representing wind, fire, water, earth, and lightning. Together with the original Hokage, the five of them unleashed a technique: the Ultimate Technique - Five Elements - Great Combo!

Shuichi immediately stopped in his tracks, casually changing a few hand seals with one hand. Suddenly, a towering Ice Wall several meters thick arched up, and various escape techniques were launched at it, but they could not budge it at all.

Just then, a crack appeared somewhere in the wall, and a thin column of water pierced through the wall completely, cutting towards Shuichi behind him with it— Water Release: Water Severing Wave!

The Ice Wall was quickly ripped open, creating a huge gap that split it diagonally in two, but no one or any bloodstains were visible behind it.

With Shuichi Yi stepped onto the top of the broken Ice Wall, puffed out his chest, and unleashed a series of Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!

Multiple Wind Blade, each tens of meters wide, slashed down, cutting through countless trees in their path. The one at the very front barely slashed anything, demonstrating its astonishing power.

Just as the three Hokage were about to be covered and destroyed by the Wind Blade, golden sand surged up from the ground, piling up thicker and thicker, as if afraid that the defense would not be strong enough.

This proved to be a wise choice. Even the incredibly heavy Gold Dust was repeatedly shattered by the terrifying Wind Blade, and the visible marks gradually deepened. Fortunately, it was finally blocked in the end.

The remaining few Wind Blade grazed the Barrier, stretching and deforming it.

The Sound Four were utterly terrified, trembling all over as they activated their State One, barely managing to hold on.

"My God, is this the true strength of the Hokage?"

When the Elephant Squad and the others witnessed this epic battle, their minds went completely blank; they were stunned and didn't know what to say.

"Especially the Fifth Hokage, even the aftershocks of his attack were enough to destroy the Four Violet Flames Formation..."

On the other side Mei Terumi took a deep breath.

After a moment of hesitation, a large mouthful of thick phlegm... no, it was a white, viscous liquid that emerged from her luscious red lips.

The liquid splashed onto the purple Barrier wall, producing a sizzling, burning sound.

Until his own Lava Release completely dissipated, the Four Violet Flames Formation Array didn't budge an inch; it was as if he had just washed glass with water.

"The gap is too big!" Mei Terumi remained outwardly calm, but her mind was racing.
